On July 8th, 2024, the YOU-DANCE project partners held their regular online meeting via Google Meet to review the progress made over the past month. Representatives from each partner organization, including Borderline Danza (Italy), Ipazia Production (Romania), and ECEM Ballet School (Türkiye), provided updates on their activities and discussed upcoming tasks in line with the project’s Action Plan.

Key discussions focused on the ongoing implementation of Activity 2 (A2), which involves the collection of surveys from the local target groups, including youth and vulnerable populations. While the Romanian team successfully continued their communication efforts and survey collection, the Turkish team faced delays due to the summer holidays. They are exploring alternative strategies to complete the surveys by September. Meanwhile, the Italian partners effectively promoted the project at a local Dance Festival, raising awareness and engagement.

The meeting also addressed administrative tasks, emphasizing the importance of regularly updating work contracts and timesheets on the project’s Google Drive to ensure accurate reporting. Further discussions centred on the next steps for Activity 3 (A3), focusing on dance-based interventions and the creation of a digital portfolio. The partners plan to start these interventions in September, with a new detailed guide being developed to tailor the activities to participant needs.

In terms of communication, it was agreed that each partner would continue to manage the project’s social media presence, with responsibilities rotating monthly. ECEM Ballet School will handle July, Borderline Danza will cover August, and Ipazia Production will take charge in September. The partners emphasized the need for regular updates to maintain project visibility and engagement.

The meeting concluded with plans for the next online gathering on August 9th, 2024, where the partners will finalize preparations for the upcoming Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) in Turkey and continue to monitor the project’s progress. The partners remain committed to achieving the YOU-DANCE project’s objectives, ensuring successful implementation and meaningful outcomes.
